ABOUT PRODUCTID 20324
The highboard designed by John Herbert for A. Younger Ltd in the 1960s represents British mid-century modern design, crafted from teak wood with a satin finish in a warm, medium brown shade and golden undertones. The wood grain is clearly visible on all surfaces, emphasizing the authenticity and natural character of the material. The piece features subtly rounded edges and sculpted, integrated handles on drawers and cabinet doors—hallmarks of the era’s organic minimalism. The proportions are balanced: the elevated body rests on slender, tapered legs. Two open shelf segments occupy the upper section, while four drawers and a double-door cabinet with shelves are found below. The highboard has undergone comprehensive carpentry restoration, stripped of old finishes and treated with high-quality Danish oil. Condition: professionally restored, with no visible signs of damage or wear.This sideboard echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when British design sought harmony between function and organic lightness. The rounded edges and smoothly contoured handles suggest a desire for softness in everyday use, while the measured proportions make the piece appear to float within a space. The teak’s brown hue and satin sheen tell a story of an era defined by attention to detail, simplicity of form, and the nobility of natural materials.The highboard can be paired with a low-profile sofa and a geometric coffee table to emphasize its modernist roots. It would work well in a living room with wooden flooring, where the warm teak tone can interact with other natural materials, such as a wool rug or ceramic accessories. Consider combining it with a minimalist lamp or a graphite-toned mirror; in eclectic collector’s interiors, it could serve as a focal point among vintage accents and contemporary artworks.
